Chapter 321: Sword Saint

Chapter 321: Sword Saint



As Icela was still savoring Ren's words, she suddenly felt the ground shake violently.

She looked up in surprise and saw Ren, who was standing over twenty meters away, holding his spear horizontally, and a silver line was rushing towards her at an astonishing speed.

In an instant, Icela was both shocked and angry. She realized that his previous conversation was likely a distraction to divert her attention.

However, it was too late for her to cast a powerful spell, so she quickly summoned her innate magic to defend herself.

Instantly, a black energy serpent appeared in front of her, as if coiling around an invisible sphere, using its thick body to block Ren's incoming 'Soul Shattering Strike'!

The spear and the black energy serpent collided, creating an intense friction sound. A large chunk of the serpent's body was gouged out, leaving a deep indentation, but it remained unbroken by the spear.

"Hsss!"

Ren nodded and quickly walked over to Klaj, helping her up.

"Your pants are torn. Remember to change them," Ren whispered in Klaj's ear.

But it was too late, as seven or eight guards had already rushed to Icela's vicinity.

If one looked closely, they could see the black serpent's body, which caused Klaj to blush furiously. She finally realized why Ren had come to help her.

"Ren, are you okay?" Klaj asked, brushing her hair away from her forehead, which had become messy during the battle.

Klaj, who had just stood up, stared at the crater on the ground with wide eyes, then glanced at Ren's exposed body where the Mithril Engraved Armor had shattered, revealing his sculpted physique.

However, what set Ren apart was his innate 'Intermediate Gigant Strength' and 'Advanced Steel Body', which were further enhanced by the Dragon Bloodline. This made Ren's attack power even more formidable, comparable to that of a second-rank Liquid Wizard.

At this moment, Icela's arms seemed to have exploded from the impact, with her elbows and below completely gone, and her legs bent backwards, feet facing the sky. Her upper body was planted in the ground, chest exposed.

After Klaj walked away, Ren suddenly realized something.

Ren was shocked to see the 'Warning' message from the system. He carefully read the notification.

Even for Icela, a third-rank Crystal Mage, this level of attack power was not to be underestimated, and he needed to respond seriously.

"Bang! Bang!"

The opponent's final trump card seemed to transform into some kind of serpent, but in that instant before the transformation, if he could kill the opponent directly, it would naturally prevent their comeback plan.

[Warning: Changing to Sword Saint (Epic) will cause the Warhammer Mage (Legendary) Attribute Panel to disappear. This process is irreversible, so choose carefully!]



When Ren checked the system, he was stunned: [Ding! Host's Will has broken through 10 points, triggering a special profession change - Sword Saint (Epic)!]



Moreover, on the exposed parts of his body, large patches of dark blue veins appeared, as if swollen.

At this moment, Ren's exposed skin was emitting a flickering silver-gray aura, flowing like mercury across his body.

"Until now, I've encountered many powerful opponents, but none could withstand my hammer!"

Klaj, who had never been embraced by a man around her waist, stiffened. Although she was knocked away, it was only a minor injury, and she didn't need any help.

As the black giant serpent multiplied, it quickly wrapped around Ren's raised barrier, forming a ball of serpents, and further squeezing it! "Crack!"

In an instant, his spear transformed into a warhammer, and he struck the guards controlled by the serpent's hair one after another.

Within two seconds, these guards, were no longer recognizable.

At that moment, the sound of many people running could be heard from all around!

"Ren!" Klaj exclaimed in surprise, seeing the situation.

"Bang!"

Ren's warhammer had arrived!

It was a high-level infrasound technique, 'Dragon Roar', infused with a hint of dragon aura! This caught Icela off guard, abruptly interrupting her spell and causing backlash, making her face pale instantly as she cursed, "Damn! It's a sound wave attack!"

The spear, after being weakened by Icela's defensive magic, had its power greatly reduced, and it was unable to penetrate the Mithril Engraved Armor.

"Holdan?"

But in an instant, the black mist disappeared!

Ren, of course, was the primary target of the attack. Although he had a protective barrier and three Falcon Shields circling him, the number of black giant serpents was simply too overwhelming. Some of them bypassed the shields and bit directly onto Ren's Mithril Engraved Armor!

The dozens of black serpents surrounding him instantly turned into wisps of black mist!

Strangely, it seemed that the Dragon Bloodline had influenced the aura, which now appeared like scales.

"At that moment, she also began to immediately recite the incantation and cast the spell, she wanted to give the guy in front of her a taste of her power.

Many guards were immediately swallowed by the black python's gaping mouth, some were strangled and killed, one after another! For a moment, it was as if they had entered the snake's forbidden land.

Blood mist splattered, and pieces of corpses were thrown far away!

When Ren approached again, these guards, like madmen, were controlled by the snake hair behind their heads and rushed towards Ren.

"Pfft!"

With these cumulative effects, Ren's armor-piercing strike was as powerful as a veteran Level 2 Liquid Mage, and even more so.

"The strength of a person controlled by the snake hair will be greatly enhanced, fearless of life and death, and once controlled for more than a minute, they cannot recover, becoming walking corpses."

Without hesitation, Klaj, holding a double-handed greatsword, rushed towards Iksera from the side, but was immediately blocked by the black serpents within the domain.

[Warning: Once you choose to advance to Sword Saint (Epic), your Spirit will be solidified, and Spirit will be converted into Will, which conflicts with the active Spirit of your current Warhammer Mage (Legendary) profession.]



Klaj's face lit up with joy, while Iksera's expression changed, because it was Ren's voice! "Hahaha!"

However, fortunately, she could feel that the opponent's attack power had not reached the level of a Level 3 Crystal Mage.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Don't come over here!" Ren roared.

"It's still up to Ren to take action!"

"Be careful, Ren! The opponent is a legendary strong Serpent Sect disciple!"

And seeing Iksera taking a step forward, Ren couldn't help but laugh! Ren took a deep breath, and his neck immediately swelled and expanded, like an angry king cobra.

Just as Iksera was about to cast a secret technique, Ren took a step forward, and a black arc of light flashed by! "Smack!"

At this moment, dozens of guards rushed towards the location where Iksera and Ren were fighting, coming from inside the castle.

But for some reason, Klaj, seeing Ren coming over to support her, couldn't bring herself to refuse, and the words wouldn't come out.

That snow-white, plump buttocks were vaguely visible!

"Don't get too cocky, I haven't lost yet!"

However, this scene made Ren's mood a little heavy.

"When did Ren return?"

At this moment, Ren felt an incredibly strong sense of resistance coming from his spear.

Iksera's face showed a hint of a charming smile, and the next second, "Swish swish swish!" Her hood was instantly torn to pieces, and dozens of black snakes, slightly thicker than a thumb, but with a length of four to five meters or even longer, danced in the air! When the guards saw the dancing snake hair, they were stunned, but immediately, their faces showed fear.

Ren raised his head, his eyes focused on Iksera.

And as Ren held the spear, his right arm suddenly swelled, and he forcefully pierced the snake body with the spear, causing the sharp spearhead to pierce Iksera's brow!

At this time, the guards surrounded them, and in the night, they could clearly see the tall figure holding a double-handed warhammer, it was Ren! "Ren!"

"However, the tenth one! Just enough!"

Seeing that her innate Serpent Sect spell 'Black Serpent Shield' was unable to break through her innate magic, Iksera's expression showed that it was only natural.

And because she was in the 'Black Serpent Domain', the surrounding black serpents, like moths to a flame, rushed towards her, wrapping around her and protecting her!

Iksera's beautiful face was instantly smashed to pieces! "Do you want to become that kind of big snake?"

Even if Ren mastered the advanced great technique 'Armor Piercing Strike', he would never cause such a big problem for a Level 3 Crystal Mage like Iksera.

"Bang!"

"I'm fine, I'm tough, don't worry about me. How about you?"

Iksera's body, covered by the black robe, suddenly had two thick black serpents burst out from her neck and waist, opening their blood-gaping mouths and attacking Ren's face.

Iksera's expression changed again, because she saw a silver figure flashing by, and the person was like a bone tumor, wrapping around her again! "This way of fighting?"

After cutting down several black serpents, Klaj was blocked by more and more black serpents. She was surprised, "You're Ren!" Iksera's eyes widened, staring at Ren in shock.

"Hmm?"

[Prerequisites for advancing to Sword Saint (Epic): 1. Will of 10 points or above; 2. Sword's Conviction; 3. Any innate magic at level 16 or above; 4. Any innate breath technique at level 16 or above; 5. Strength of 45 points or above, Agility of 45 points or above, Constitution of 45 points or above. Current conditions are all met!]



Huh? Klaj's beautiful eyes widened as she glanced back. Indeed, when she was knocked away earlier, her hunting pants had scraped against something sharp, and now, a long, narrow gash over ten centimeters long had been torn open.

Her nickname was Crazy Serpent, not Dead Serpent! If she really only knew how to attack frantically without knowing how to defend, she would have died countless times by now.

After fighting for half a day, she finally realized that her opponent was the very person who had killed her younger brother! As for why Ren wasn't in Minter but appeared here, it was completely beyond her brain's consideration. At this moment, Icela only wanted to do one thing!

After the whirlwind swept through, it left a row of afterimages! In an instant, Ren had arrived two to three meters in front of her, raising a pitch-black two-handed warhammer and slamming it down on her! Icela's heart sounded an alarm, but Ren's speed was too fast. She didn't have time to chant and cast spells, nor did she have time to retreat. She could only use her innate magic and Serpent Transformation!

This startled Icela, and her serpentine pupils suddenly shrank as she instinctively flew backward, her toes tapping the ground.

Immediately, these guards began to convulse, their eyes rolling up, revealing large patches of whites, so that only white could be seen in their eyes.

Then, they charged into Ren's warhammer.

"I'm fine too. Thanks to you this time!"

"Die!" "Black Serpent Domain!"

Ren knew that according to the opponent's strength, anyone below a Grand Knight would die.

Icela didn't dare to use any long-casting spells, because against Ren's Lance Great Technique, at most two 'Armor Piercing Strikes' would break through most defensive spells.

As a top student who had studied at the Imperial Academy, she was very familiar with the signature moves of some heretical sects.

Instantly, Icela's vertical pupils narrowed, and her entire body was covered in dense, fine scales, while a giant coiling serpent appeared on her body again.

Hearing Icela's words, Klaj was so concerned that she didn't have time to dodge. Suddenly, she was hit in the abdomen by a serpent's tail and flew out with a 'Bang'! "Is that so?"

"Huh? Sword Saint?"

And Ren, from their brief exchange, realized that the opponent's strength was even stronger than the Serpent Sect's Grand Master Cannon, whom he had killed before.

Seeing Icela charging at him like a madwoman, Ren immediately recalled the young Serpent Sect member he had killed.

But this time's enemy was clearly stronger than Cannon, a solid Legendary expert!

Ren's eyes narrowed, and he controlled the two hardened mithril falcon shields to block.

Black serpent bodies danced in the air, and a powerful figure emerged, holding a warhammer, with over ten huge serpent heads hanging on his body.

The giant serpent's strength was immense, and although Ren blocked in time and wasn't injured, this move stalled Ren's lance pursuit, giving Icela a brief respite.

"The ninth one!"

"Ren, I'll take over!" After saying this, Klaj, who usually maintained a noble demeanor, also 'fled in disarray' for the first time! This scene made Ren laugh.

Seeing that Serpent Hair wasn't enough to defeat Ren, Icela suddenly burst out with a powerful aura, and within a few dozen meters, the area turned black, as if it had become an independent space!

"Not good! It's Serpent Hair!"

At this moment, a deep male voice came from the giant black serpent ball.

"Roar!"

"Do you know what a War Mage's killer move is?"

Is this the opponent's sister? But before Ren could think further, he saw the seven or eight guards controlled by Serpent Hair, smashed down by the opponent like hammers, their strength immense.

This made Ren secretly lament.

"Boom!"

"But this is a Sword Saint! An Epic Class! It should be stronger than a War Mage!"

"It's Ren who killed the enemy!"

At this moment, Icela was still in shock, because although the opponent's previous attack didn't injure her, the momentary display of attack power made her extremely vigilant.

"What?" Icela was stunned, still thinking about what a War Mage was, when suddenly, she saw Ren charging towards her even faster than at the start.

The Serpent Sect's Legendary expert's 'Serpent Hair' was one of this heretical sect's signature abilities.

Transparent afterimages emerged from the shattered corpses controlled by Serpent Hair, dragging long tails of flame, swirling around Ren several times.

A guard's knight-long sword slashed at Ren's body, surrounded by falcon shields, with considerable power!

"Huh! Your strength has increased so much!"

If she could free her hands to cast a third-rank spell, defeating the opponent wouldn't be a problem.

"Doesn't that mean the killer move 'Soul Fragmentation Impact' is gone too?

"No! It's even more serious, the entire path of the wizard is cut off!" Ren was suddenly surprised.

This made Ren suddenly angry!

But if you look closely, you will find that these pythons have bitten through the mithril armor, but they do not seem to have bitten into Ren's skin.

"Want to get me!"

"Damn it, this doesn't look like a wizard at all? It doesn't even look like a knight! It's more like an assassin!"

Just now, he has been hearing, and it seems that there are several system prompts coming.

The senior great knight mastered the attack power of the senior first-level wizard, which is almost the same as the senior first-level wizard.

For a while, the guard seemed to have found the backbone, and they all came forward to salute.

Klajia's natural arrival at the scene, seeing the flying snake hair, immediately realized what.

"How did you cultivate this, it's been a while, and Ren's strength has increased by a large section!" Klajia couldn't help but mutter.

Smoke and dust rose, and pebbles flew! After the smoke dissipated, you could see that the place where Iksera originally stood, at this moment, a crater with a diameter of four or five meters has appeared.

Iksera's mind changed again and again! First she saw Ren's costume as a knight, later she realized that the opponent's magic was necromancy, and immediately believed that the opponent must be a wizard. But now, Iksera feels that the opponent is like an assassin disguised as a wizard.

Just now, he could almost let the opponent be injured.

Suddenly, an invisible air wave roared from Ren's suddenly opened mouth!

Unlike previous enemies, these shadows had faces that revealed relief, looking at Ren with a smile, as if thanking Ren for rescuing them from the control of the snake hair.

However, Ren is no longer the him then! Ren's toes touched the ground, and the ground cracked like a spider web, and he rushed towards Iksera, as if he didn't want to give the opponent any chance to breathe.

"Bang! Bang! Clang!"

It seems that the opponent's snake hair has injected some kind of strange thing into the guards, greatly increasing the strength of the guards.

"Another epic profession?"

"Tsk tsk, it's really touching." Iksera glanced at Klajia, with a touch of color on her face.

"You puke, your strength"

Iksera vomited blood!

【. Transfer to the Sword Saint (Epic) pre-transfer conditions meet all the conditions, is it transferred to the Sword Saint (Epic)? 】

"These guards are like walking corpses, it's better to let myself send them back to the embrace of the goddess!"

And hundreds of thousands of giant pythons suddenly emerged from the ground, launching indiscriminate attacks on the surroundings.

"Ah! Ah!"

Just as the gun tip touched, a black membrane suddenly appeared on Iksera's body, blocking the gun tip.

For the Serpent Cult, he has also summarized some experience.

Ren shook the hammer, and threw the white flower jelly-like thing on the ground.

Ren quickly recalled the transfer conditions of the 'Thousand Blade King', there is indeed no requirement for will, compared to the 'Sword Saint', the 'Thousand Blade King' seems to pursue the pure physical improvement.

Of course, there are also certain requirements for techniques (Great Techniques).

"Does this mean that the 'Thousand Blade King' pursues the power of bricks flying, pursuing the strength of the flesh, so it does not conflict with the path of the wizard?"

"And the Sword Saint, on the other hand, chooses to integrate the individual will into the sword, pursuing the unity of spirit and flesh, pursuing the ultimate attack power, so it leads to conflict with the path of the wizard?"

For a while, Ren seemed to have some enlightenment.
